Description
Tartalo comes from ancient Basque mythology. An old world in which Oxer likes to escape to and which he aims to express in his wines and images. Tartalo is the name of an enormously strong one-eyed Basque giant. The quote on the back label is from the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch: “From my rotting body flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.”
